      Pros

      Great benefits for the restaurant industry. Good work life balance with an abundance of jobs in the more traditional Mon-Fri daytime scenario. Parent company is Compass group which offers the ability to move to other businesses within the same umbrella in other parts of the country.

      Cons

      Company is heavily focused in Business and Industry/Museums serving high volume cafe style food. We do it very well but leaves some chefs a yearning to go back into the fine dining side of the industry where food quality and presentation is king.

      Pros

      Love the management team, chefs, and coworkers, cant speak highly enough of them. I have a great work life balance and feel like the kitchen is stocked well.

      Cons

      The space i work in was badly designed and installed. About a third of the equipment doesn't work, stopped working, never worked which is unacceptable for a new place. Also the very limited fridge and freezer space in comparison to the amount of food produced per day is laughable, if it wasn't so frustrating to deal with on a daily basis.
